Terms of Service

Last Updated: September 1, 2026 · Effective Date: September 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

ReadBy (the "App") is operated by Jetpack Properties, LLC (d/b/a “Jetpack Publishing”), a Tennessee limited liability company ("ReadBy," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you ("you," "Account Holder") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an account and use this App. The App is designed for adults to create stories for children ages 3-12+.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

4.1 Free and Paid Tiers

The App offers both free and paid subscription tiers. Features available under each tier may change over time.

4.2 Apple In-App Purchases

All subscriptions and payments are processed through Apple's In-App Purchase system and are subject to Apple's terms and conditions.

4.3 Price Changes

6. Content Safety and Acceptable Use

6.1 Content Safety

ReadBy employs a multi-layer content safety system to ensure all stories are appropriate for children ages 3-12+. This includes input filtering, AI guardrails, and output moderation.

6.2 Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

6.3 Content Moderation

We reserve the right to review, filter, or remove any user-generated content that violates these Terms or our content safety standards. Repeated violations may result in account suspension or termination.

7. Voice Profiles

By creating a voice profile, you:

7.2 Voice Data

Voice recordings and the voice models created from them are biometric identifiers and are handled as described in our Privacy Policy (Section 2.3.2) and our Biometric Data Retention & Destruction Policy, including retention, deletion, and — where applicable — written-release requirements for family-member recordings.

7.3 Family Voice Invites

ReadBy lets you ("Account Holder") invite a trusted adult — for example, a grandparent or co-parent ("Voice Donor") — to record a sample of their voice so it can narrate stories on your account. The Voice Donor records on a public web page hosted at readby.app/record/<token> and is not required to create a ReadBy account.

By generating and sharing a Family Voice Invite link, you represent and warrant that:

The Voice Donor sees, before recording, who invited them, what the recording will be used for, and how to decline. The cloned voice does not become usable in your App until you (the Account Holder) listen to a short preview and explicitly approve it. Either you or the Voice Donor may request deletion of the voice and the original recording at any time; see the Privacy Policy for the data-retention details.

You are responsible for any voice you bring into your account via this flow. We reserve the right to remove any voice that we have reasonable grounds to believe was added without the Voice Donor's consent or in violation of these Terms.

8. Disclaimers

8.1 "As Is" Service

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not guarantee that AI-generated stories will be:

While our content safety system is designed to produce age-appropriate stories, we encourage parents and caregivers to review stories before sharing them with children.

8.3 Service Availability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. The App may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or due to circumstances beyond our control.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, READBY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM:

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ReadBy and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

11. Dispute Resolution

11.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to Section 11.2, the exclusive venue for any dispute shall be the state or federal courts located in Davidson County (Nashville), Tennessee.

11.2 Arbitration

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Tennessee, except that (a) either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and (b) either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property violations. This Section applies to you, the parent or guardian who accepts these Terms, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to claims brought on behalf of a child in your household.

Your right to opt out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement entirely by emailing support@readby.app within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

11.3 Class Action Waiver

You agree that any dispute resolution will be conducted on an individual basis and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular dispute, then the entirety of Section 11.2 (Arbitration) shall be null and void as to that dispute, which shall instead proceed in the courts identified in Section 11.1.

12. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes through:

Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you disagree with any changes, you should stop using the App and delete your account.
